Topic: Fix the fucking game (Read 773 times)

Like seriously oh my God I cannot properly express how pissed off I am. I attack a noble with some archers and order him to surrender; What is this? The option to surrender was removed at some point? Well, let's hope I TAKE HIM A-FUCKING-LIVE because just for once evade doesn't make life a fucking hellhole.

Nope. When you can TRAIN your men by the FUCKING hundreds to a gazillion fucking experience by attacking lone nobles, JUST THIS FUCKING INSTANCE I instakill the guy I needed alive WHO WAS LITERALLY TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO SURRENDER.

This barebones fucking shit is driving me fucking insane.

The story of Ascalon's forum threads.Founder of Ascalon, professional whiner, minor storyteller.

A few things to remember, and explain why things happened the way they did: When archers attack, they can shoot the same target more times than regular infantry, before they have to seek a new one. We are talking about 6 to 8 shots on one target, compared to 2 or 3 melee strikes. Secondly, Longbows have a really high attack value, and can pierce the armor of a Noble more reliably than melee weapon, and you also have to do it twice for a kill result, instead of a wound result. And lastly, in the hunt phase, archers do not take penalties to their attack for wearing heavy armor.

These factors combined led to the event- but that is not the end of it. Nobles have a 66% chance of surrendering in battle, instead of being killed. Being outright killed in a single battle, without being backed by fortifications, is a massive case of bad luck.

But really, in the end it's my fault. So if you have to blame someone, blame me the most.

Yeah that really sounds like it sucks. But well... they're fixing the fucking game now. Gotta understand that for the time-being though, it's gonna be about fixing the current code and balancing before they likely will even tackle the surrender issue. Consider it a non-existing game mechanic for now until they can get to it.

Btw, Weaver and De-Legro, we could use an update as to progress made. I'm sure Tom would like to put what updates are being made under Recent Changes.
